Girlfriend, let’s talk - Shalimar J
In this episode, Shalimar J reflects back on the catalyst behind Girl Embrace It TV. As it happens with any journey toward reinvention and growth, Shalimar found her spark of inspiration to pay it forward during one of her lowest points in life.
Shalimar explains how, at the same time she was going through her own dark path, she was seen as the voice of reason among her peers and, therefore, was the go-to-person for advice. Shalimar’s most common refrain for these struggling ladies?
“Embrace it. Girl, I get it, but embrace it.”
There came a point where Shalimar realized that God was leading her to create a platform and a brand where her message can reach more audiences far and wide.
Listen in as Shalimar goes on to share on how, as a result of following His guidance, Girl Embrace It TV came to be. She then describes how her faith carried her through an abusive marriage and her attempts to make ends meet while taking care of her children after her divorce.
As she explains, it all led to her outreach geared toward survivors of domestic abuse, My Scars Are Beautiful; They Are My Testimony, as well as many other initiatives going forward.

● We can get so high and mighty, when God has done the good thing, we don’t even hear Him anymore. We hear Him when we’re low, and He knows that, but we need to be able to hear him at all times.
● A testimony is a powerful thing and testimonies help heal.
● The hardest part of getting over your it is the starting point of getting through it.
● Be confident in God’s plan for you, and He’ll do the rest.
